Diana

"Sh*t! sh*t!....." Aroma cursed continuously and the sound of her urgent movement on the other end could be heard through the phone.

The sleep to death poison was something personal that she and her mates created and didn't exposed to the world.

She has succeeded lots of missions easily, thanks to it. With the drug, there won't be any loopholes. No matter what sort of test was carried out on the victims, it will end up as a natural death.

Even Nathan had no idea such weapons existed. It's meant to be a secret between her and her mate  which made her wondered how Diana come across it.

But on second thought, she hasn't seen them for years now. Someone you haven't seen for a week could have developed a new character, not to mention someone she hasn't laid her eyes on in years.

They probably got involved with some people and sell out the poison. If her memories aren't suffering an issue, they only made six boxes.

3 boxes of the poison and 3 of the antidotes. Each of the box contained fifty bottles. In her case, she has excess antidotes as she didn't revive her victims.

They had promised each other to meet after it's exhausted and create another batches. She wondered if they sold out some of it.

Ethan fight the tears that's threatening to slip out as he listens to Aroma's alarmed tone. His heart began racing wildly, as fear envelope his entire being.

He wondered why this girl kept getting in trouble that makes him powerless and hopeless. Despite everything he had, he couldn't even do anything for her right now.

Aroma spoke up again, "Is the target dead?" she asked.

"No." Diana answered.

"And why is that?" Aroma asked rushing to god knows where at the other end.

Diana's voice lowered again, "I didn't want to kill the wrong person…"

"Because you don't want to feel guilty, so you decided to die from the poison first, so your ghost could hunt her like that of those she has killed, Is that it?" Aroma cuts in. Already read her like an open good.

Diana went silent and couldn't say anything, but Aroma's movement at the other side has stopped.

"I thought you're smart already. I was worried you're over smart, cruel, brutal, different. I fucking thought you've changed, but seems all it takes for you to become an idiot again is getting fucked.

Seems the sex you've been having over there has taken away your sense of reasoning. You've become soft because you're being tucked to sleep by a man right?

You suspected someone to be the target and ended up getting poisoned by her. What's the point of all your training so far?

You weren't even in a fight with her, which led to this. She's alive and kicking you idiot!" Aroma was very angry and barking loudly, while both couples remained silent.

Diana felt sad for Ethan the most. She made the man look like an idiot. She felt like she's crushing his dignity and he kept letting her.

Ethan's eyes widened when Aroma spoke again after breathing heavily, due to her cursing nonstop.

"You know what Diana, just die! I don't fucking care! I'm sure you're still going to get killed soon with your idiotic nature anyway, so I don't want to waste my time on you. Fool!" Aroma said in a cruel tone which made Ethan's body tensed.

"Please don't," Ethan said in a broken voice, while the already dozing Diana regained herself at the sound of his broken voice, her tears falling nonstop.

"Please don't let her die." Ethan pleaded, taking the phone from her. The phone was on loud speaker and both have been listening to her from the start.

Seeing a drop of tears escaped his eyes, Diana began sobbing out loud, her chest heaving up and down.

Aroma was at a loss for a few seconds, before she took a deep breath and finally spoke up. Even she had tears in her eyes on the other side, despite her cursing.

She wondered what would have happened if they didn't call her. What if Ethan had asked her to sleep while he got some doctors finding the unfindable.

Although they call her now. What if she wouldn't be able to hold on till she got there. They have an aircraft of their own, yes! but she's not sure if Diana could hold on that long.

It's more than 7 hours journey to the country. The more she didn't sleep, the more her conscious will be threatening to slip away.

And immediately she gave in to it and sleep, she won't wake up ever. She's dead.

If Nathan find out about this, he would never allow her to go. He will let her die without batting an eyelash. Even her feel like she should, even though she's not sure if she could handle her death.

She's nothing but an idiot. She was worried she's changed for nothing. But hearing Ethan's broken voice, she decided to hold onto that as the reason she's going to give it her all to get there, and not because she also didn't want to lose her.

"No matter what, don't let her fall asleep. If she sleeps she dies, do you understand?" Aroma asked, her voice not harsh and insultive this time.

"I understand." Ethan said and looking at Diana who was now whimpering like a little kid, while staring into his eyes.

Her entire face looking weak, eyes half shut like a drunk.

...

The call ended and Aroma run towards where Nathan was and gave him a fake summary, and asked permission to leave right away to pass her the antidotes.

Nathan gave her permission and urge her to leave right away. Which she quickly does, after picking 5 antidotes from the box in her lab.

Their base is still under renovation and most of them still sleep at her house, that's close to the lab, while all trainees has been sent to their other camps, so it won't affect their routine.

…..

Back at Ethan and Diana's side.

"Ethan I'm so sorry." Diana said, crying out loud.
